About Me

My photo
I'm Coralyn, a Californian native. I am mother to a crazy 4 year old girl named Madison, a baby on the way, and a wrinkly Shar-pei. My husband is in the Army and we have moved from California to Hawaii and from Hawaii to beautiful Colorado. I'm a stay at home mom and student/art major. I love painting and drawing and hope to share some of these things with you throughout my blog along with other random moments in my life.

Bed, Bath, and BEYOND.

So on my little tropical island we don't have a lot of stores that we enjoyed back home..
just recently they opened their first Target and Victoria secret
then just last Friday came... BED BATH AND BEYOND.

I was so flippin' excited. I went to the grand opening (it was nuts) and walked around in amazement.I began to feel less homesick... Bed Bath and Beyond was one of the stores I truly missed and now theres one 15 minutes away from me.

I loved bed bath and beyond so much I even registered there for my wedding back in 2007. I actually had a few things that were sitting in my upstairs closet that I never got a chance to return. I had 4 sets of fine china that I didn't need, so I asked the manager if I could return it to the Pearl City store even though they were over 3 years old, I didn't have a receipt, and I got them from a store back in California, and he said yes!!

I had no idea how much the china was worth (they were a gift), it was only 4 settings, so I brought them to the store the next day.. and I ended up walking out with a $300 gift certificate, HOLY COW.

The next day I dragged my husband along to help me decide what to spend my gift certificate on.. man, we got A LOT of stuff. I went pretty crazy, I got a huge painting, new curtains, new rods, shelves, random things for the kitchen like measuring spoons and a dish drying mat... it was pretty sweet. Shopping sprees are fun when you don't have to spend your own money. :)
